not sure what you're saying but what does it even matter? Companies are helping at a time when it's needed........that's the point!

They announced on Twitter that they will "pivot resources so factory partners can make masks, gowns & scrubs for healthcare workers on the front lines."

From some PR news on the athletic/outdoor side of the apparel world from this afternoon.
  • Pack maker Mystery Ranch is using their Bozeman Mt. facility for masks and coordinating with local crafters
  • Athletic insole brand Superfeet is using their WA facility to make masks using some 3D printing
+
  • Seattle's Outdoor Research PR says,

" Outdoor Research has pledged to start producing masks for medical workers at a substantial clip—200,000 a day by June, according to an announcement the company made Monday. To do so, the gear and apparel brand will convert its Seattle factory to comply with FDA Class II guidelines, meaning it will be able to produce surgical masks and the much-needed N95 masks, in short supply across the nation,... "

Ship John is making masks to be donated and they're having a raffle if you buy gift cards from small businesses.

If you have any suitable fabric you're willing to purchase or donate to them to facilitate making more masks they would really appreciate it.

Edit:

Langlitz leathers, Good Art, and Last US Bag Co. are also making masks to be donated.
